I personally don’t think there’s anyway back for him to win most fans over again.
Time will tell.Butler needs to forget about the fans and concentrate on winning the players over. If he succeeds in that, possibly by playing his best players in their best positions in a system with which they’re comfortable, then he’ll get the fans back I’m sure.
Don’t give the manager any more daft ideas, he’s had enough.

Can we afford not to would be my question.

Use him correctly and he’ll score goals, he’s proved that. We messed about with Elliott and failed to use a proven goalscorer effectively, let’s not make the same mistake again.

What a curse that early MOM has proved to be. Won that with a back 5 so that has fixed it in AB’s mind as the way to succeed.

All(I think) of our current squad have, through their careers, shown the ability to play at least one level above where we now find ourselves. The fact that they now struggle to match, never mind master, part time triers speaks volumes. Maybe if the best players were selected in their best positions in a system with which they are comfortable they might show their true ability. Sadly there is little sign of that happenimng any time soon.

Left Brogan out “because he’s played 2 games”!!!! How many has Clunan played? He doesn’t leave him out every 3rd game does he!! Unbelievable! I know it could be contentious but how about picking players on merit rather than favourites, it might work.

He benched a player that’s been among our best recently and failed to start the best replacement for Roberts, so it’s not true to suggest he’s got nothing else.

Telling us that because we’ve got Beck doesn’t mean we’re going to play hoof ball but then plays hoof ball to Beck for 90mins.
And just to confirm the “no hoof ball” claim he signs another 6’+ forward.

3 big lads up front but nobody to cross the ball for them! Puzzling.

After 3 games unbeaten without conceding a goal?

I agree with much of what you say but to expect a manager to say that his team are performing at 100% would invite ridicule. Perhaps “there are still things to work on” might have been better. AB’s regular “we know where we have to be better” is the one that annoys me more as we never seem to get better, accurate passing, as you say, is one of the main areas. A basic for a professional footballer you’d think.

I fear it’s in Roberts position after January.
